"I don't know who she is, hell I'm not too sure who I am...but she says you can help me...help me remember who I am."

I was still in borderline shock and couldn't really bring myself to say anything so I just continued to stare at him.

"I know, it sounds insane. I barely even know my name but the women who brought me here... She says it's Luke and that your name is Thalia. That you know who I am."

I just started shaking my head and muttering,"This-This was a mistake," I stood up quickly, moving further away from him,"I-I'm sorry but I can't help you."

His face dropped, staring down at his meal,"I understand."

My breathing and heart beat began to quicken,"I really am sorry but I have to go." I collected my trash, disposing of the numerous cups and raced out of the Dunkin Donuts, running until I had almost reached camp.

By now everyone had to be awake, the hunters and a few others were probably looking for me. Carefully, I snuck back into camp, passing the tree that had once been me. Once inside, I searched for Amanda.

"Mandy!" I called out,"AMANDA!" I could no longer contain the anxiety attack that had been building. I pushed open the Artemis cabin door and collapsed on to the floor. Amanda, who had been inside rushed to pull me up.

"Thal! Thalia! What happened? I knew I shouldn't have let you go..."

I began crying," It's him Mandy... It's him. He talked to me, he said my name..."

Mandy stared at me, brows furrowed,"He remembers you?"

I shook my head violently," Someone's prompting him... A woman. She's told him his name and brings him to that Dunkin donuts but nothing else...She's telling him I can help him remember who he is."

"I-i don't know what to say Thal... I think you should talk to Annabeth... She knows you and him better than I do.I feel she might have some better advice..."

I nodded, catching my breath and finally noticing the few other huntresses that were in the cabin. They look bewildered and of them were new to the hunters and none of them had seen me break down before. I'd like to think the years of anxiety had taught me how to control it. It didn't. And I don't."Yeah, yeah I'll go talk to Annabeth."

Mandy helped me over to the Athena cabin once breakfast had ended. Once Annabeth saw me, she instructed the rest of her cabin to leave while she talked to me.

"And you're really sure it's him...?"

"He talked to me! He knows his name, my name! The scar is identical. It's him,Annabeth."

She sighed and sat on her bed,"And you just ran out on him? Leaving him in a Dunkin Donuts? He hosted Kronos for months,Thalia. Did he say anything else?"

"He has no idea who he is besides his name. He said there's a woman helping him and that she told him that I can help him remember."

"And you're sure there's no trace of Kronos?"

"None, I don't even think he knows he's a demigod."

"So he's roaming around New York vulnerable to anything and everything…You have to bring him here."

My eyes widened,"Whoa whoa whoa, why do we have to do that? Why do I have to do that?"

Annabeth stared in me disbelief,"Thalia, you know as well as anyone that it's dangerous out there for us and it's even worse for demigods that don't know! Do you really want the first memory he makes about being a demigod to be being mutilated by who knows what! And you know Hermes's isn't gonna lead him here now! He might not even know he's alive."

I sighed,"I know I know… but is that really the best idea? Last time everyone saw Luke he was on the verge of destroying all of us. Some the campers had actually betrayed us to fight along side him. Do you know what could happen if I brought him back here?"

"I know Thal, but that doesn't matter any more and I'm more than sure Percy and even Chiron will agree with me. If what you say is true and he really has been reborn, he isn't who he use to be anymore. He doesn't even remember it happening, right? Which means he just another son of Hermes that needs help...And you're the only one who knows so you have to help him."

"I suppose you're right...But I can't just go back. I just freaked out in front him and ran off."

Mandy shook her head,"Of course not. There still has to be some plan of action. I don't really think you should go alone but if too many of us disappear, people will get suspicious."

"I think you should go to find him as soon as possible. Probably not tonight. I think you should prep for anything that could happen on your way back to camp. It won't be a long trip so if you go in the morning, you could be back by lunch even if something does happen."

It was five-thirty in the morning and I had yet to fall asleep. All of this was just too much to take in. Up until a few days ago, to my knowledge, Luke Castellan was dead and in the deepest part of Tartarus. And then all of a sudden, he wasn't. I suppose at some point he decided he could actually be helpful if was just reborn. A clean slate. I know he couldn't have told me he was going to do it but I wish I had gotten some type of warning. Would've helped avoid the anxiety attacks.

Another half hour of staring at the ceiling passed by and it neared the time I was supposed to head out. Annabeth and I agreed I would leave at six thirty and once I was far away enough from camp at around seven thirty, she would go and tell Chiron what was going on. By noon, Luke Castellan would be back at Camp Half-Blood and I would be sitting on the edge of the Oath terms. I would never do anything that would be blatant oath breaking like kissing or sex but would mere contact make Artemis that upset with me? And it was a special circumstance, something no one else could do.

I sat up in my bed, looking around the mostly dark cabin. The only light was from the moon shining through the window and reflecting on the bowl of water in front of it. I looked at the other bunks, each filled to the brim with huntresses. What would they think of me for bringing Luke back to camp? Would they still trust me as their leader? It's not like I brought him back to life, I'm just making sure he's safe. Right?

I shuffled my way out of bed and tried to collect my things as quietly as possible. Once outside, I pulled on my jacket and put my quiver over my shoulder, " I can't believe I'm doing this again. What if he's not even there. I told him I couldn't help so he probably won't come looking for me for a second time.

Standing at the camp entrance yet again, I sighed, "You're just bringing him back here. Just making sure he's safe."

And with that, I made my way downtown for a third time.
